1 Draft for Success Story: was founded by Mr. Prakash Khakhar as a proprietorship concern in Starting with mangoes, it has moved to handling a large range of fruits and vegetables. Mr. Kaushal Khakhar is the CEO of. Kay Bee is vertically integrated as it owns a large part of the value chain. It has its own farming operations, tightly integrated contract farming production, fleet of 22 vehicles, own freight forwarding and customs clearance operations and a distribution company in UK. The main products handled are Okra, Karela, Chillies, Dudhi, Curry Leaves, Mangoes and Pomegranates. The main customers are European retail chains like Tesco, Asda, Marks and Spencer, Waitrose, Morrisons and Sainsbury. This is the first project of and government under Public Private Partnership for Integrated Agriculture Development. Company Contribution: Kay Bee s contract farming model is very unique and the first of its kind in India. Kay Bee s technical team minutely observes each plot and adopts integrated pest management practices based on modern agronomic principles. Kay Bee offers a fair-priced fixed contract rate to the farmers. Because of ongoing value addition to the farmers, there is no default by the farmers in supply. Farmers also have the assurance of a full buy-back from Kay Bee and do not have to worry about marketing their produce. This unique contract production model from Kay Bee has been a catalyst in building Kay Bee as a most trusted brand amongst farmers in Maharashtra. With government intervening in the project, the best practices of the agronomy can be spread among more farmers, enabling them to produce better quality vegetables and fruits. With the improved quality and quantity the farmers can increase their earning to the
2 extent of 100% from the current as the company would provide with fixed price contracts and also full buy back of the specified production. Government would enable the company to reach a substantial number of farmers and help in containing pests attack with its service of pesticides in its undertaken farms. The Company is in the process of building an infrastructure which would help in process optimization and also process integration thus benefitting the farmer category by increasing their produce quantity by 100% and also improving the quality to meet the exportable standards. Initatives/Major efforts taken by We have tested soil and water to optimize the cost of nutrients for proper recommendation of fertilizers and micro nutrients based on soil test reports and improvement in yield and gave training to farmers for taking soil sample. We arranged a Farmer s Training Program for increasing awareness of farmers about agriculture like better crop management, improve the quality of produce.
3 As per the requirement of importing countries, need to maintain the MRL s below the specified limits by correct recommendations / schedules / application of plant protection chemicals. We have designed crop protection schedule according to export requirements. Global GAP certificate is must for exporting the produce to most of the European destinations. Company is creating awareness on benefits of Global GAP certificate and helping farmers in registration of Global GAP certificate to improve earning by exporting the produce. Mulches have been used for years with great results for production of earlier, better quality vegetable harvests, mulches help increase soil temperature, retain soil moisture, provide weed control, decrease leaching of fertilizers, and decrease the need for general cultivation around the plants.
4 Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices. IPM programs use current, comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment G fab Insect Net useful to prevent the pest & diseases from entering the main field. It helps to increased co2 percentage of covered area which is very beneficial for plant growth. It is a barrier for entrance of the wild animals into the plot. It helps to avoid the entry of the pests who cannot jump more than 8feet e.g Thrips.
5 Involvement of Farmers : 394 farmers were covered under for the Okra, Bottle Gourd and Bitter Gourd crop in Phaltan (Satara Distrcit), Baramati (Pune District ) and Indpur (Pune Distrcit) of Maharashtra. Marketing Company created the linkage between farmers and exporters along with good local purchasers. The fresh produce was duly procured by the procurement officers of the Company as per the day to day demand in the market. The majority of the produce was exported.
